Another itinerary you could add to your list while in Sweden is to check out this tiny hotel called Utter Inn.

It also features underwater staying facilities for travellers and the general public. Guests are brought out to the middle of the lake by an inflatable boat and after receiving information and instructions are left to their accommodation. It is an amazing experience to sleep surrounded by fishes of the lake.

Another travel accommodation experience you should experience is the Capsule Hotels in Tokyo. Well, there are capsule hotels in other parts of the world. In Tokyo, Japan, capsule hotels are quite popular among locals and tourists. The hotel features the smallest rooms there is – a capsule! This concept started in 1979 with the Capsule Hotel in Osaka. It was originally designed by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. In its early operations, capsule hotels only accommodated men – mostly businessmen. However more recently, certain floors already offer accommodations for women. Hotel owners are now developing features for both men and women. The capsule-like rooms are already fitted with high-speed internet, and the accommodation includes necessities like toiletries and towels.
Pipe Hotels, Germany

In Germany, there are accommodations similar to the capsule hotels in Tokyo. Whereas capsule hotels are rectangular tubes, here, hotel rooms are inside large pipe structures. The Das Park Pipe Hotels is located just a few meters from the Danube river. The hotel rooms look like blank concrete pipes on the outside. The theme is simplicity here. While the exterior looks like a bare pipe, the inside is also sparsely finished. However, the pipes can be located in a nice blooming park so that guests can wake up to a lovely garden scenery. It sure is a unique experience every expat should try when visiting Germany.
Yotel Airport Hotel, England

Space may be limited, but the accommodations come complete with flat screen tv, wireless internet connection and, of course, a round-the-clock room service. The concept of Yotel Airport Hotels is to mix luxurious accommodation experience and affordable pricing to travellers and expats. Minimizing space allows hotel owners to achieve this, much to the delight of guests.
